AMERICAN INGENUITY AND PRINTING.
The first important American improve
mont in presses is said TO have been that
made by George Clymer, OF Philadel-
phia, about 1917. consisting OF the ap-
plication of the power by means of
compound lever but dozen years
later the Washington press of Samuel
Rust had superseded it. The Washing
ton press, with man to operate the
lever and boy to apply the INK, would
turn off about 1000 papers in a day,
and, after a time, self-inking apparatus
was devised which enabled a man to do
the work without the aid of boy.
The first power press produced in
America was the invention of Daniel
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1887-11-13

rather than a single invention, the pro-
duct of many different minds working
toward the same result. Sir Rowland
Hill. the well-known advocate OF cheap
coinage in England, was the first to
construct and patent, in 1888, a rotary
web poriecting press-that IS one to
print a roll or web OF paper on both
sides, from cylinders, cut it into sheets,
and pile them. His invention, however.
was too far in advance OF his time, and
never came iuto use, owing partly to the
inconvenience of the conical type, which
he used on his type cylinders, and partly
to the difficulty of disposing Of the sheets
as fast as printed.
In 1912 Jeptha \. Wilkinson, OF New
York, built u similar press, also using
conical type, but it failed in operation
from the same cause as its predecessor.
The web Press.
In 1Si9 Jacob Worms, of Paris, hit
upon tne idea of curved stereotype
plates secured to a rotating cylinder.
Worms even built press in which the
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1887-11-13

printed sheets we're separated from the
web by serrated blade and tension
rollers, as in many of the perfecting
presses now used, aud made stereotype
plates from a papier mache matrix, the
material still considered the best. This
press was patented in England, on
March 7, 1850, but met witt no success
partly because it failed to deliver the
sheets as fast as printed, and partly be-
cause the process OF stereotyping, as
then understood, involved too much
delay. II was not until 1861 that the
latter difficulty was overcome by Charles
Crask. New York engraver, whose I'M
proved stereotyping process was at once
adopted by the New York 7rib1mc, and
has proved a complete success, the whole
operation requiring but fifteen or twenty
minutes.

sand impressions could be struck of in
an hour. No wonder the lords OF the
Privy Cornell of England, in granting an
extension Of the patent, characterized
the invention as "the greatest step ever
made in the printing art" The honor
of using the first press Of this kind ever
made belongs to the Philadelphia Pubtic
Lcdger; the first en.cylinder press was
made for the New York Tribune, in
1855, and the first sent to Europe was
for In Pqirio, of Paris, in 1S4S. The
London Times, after experimenting
with a clumsy vertical rotary press, con-
structed by Augustus Applegarth, which
was big failure, ordered two Hoe ten
cylinder presses in 1857. This press
was supreme for quarter of century;
but, grand as was this triumph Of inven-
tive genius, it is already half forgotten.

the impression of pages and a being
given to the reverse side OF the paper;
As the stream of paper, now printed
on both sides, issues from the last cylin-
der, it contains a row of the Dtspatch,
placed end toiend. These papers must
now be separated from the web, and this
process is in itself an ingenious one:
The paper is conducted between third
pair OF cylinders. in one of which along
ITS whole length, is cutting-knife which
works into corresponding groove in the
other, and this blade divides the paper
into sheets of four pages-not wholly di-
vided. however the continuity OF the
web needs TO be preserved for fraction
of second longer, and few
points of attachment are conse-
quently left between the parts ant'I
they are fairly started ina series OF faster

with water. The cylinder as it reyolyes
carries just enough water on its surface
to dompen the paper to the night de;
gree. Its surface is cut with broad
spiral groove running from the centre
to the right and left. The advantage OF
this is that while it vets sufficient OF the
paper for all practical purposes 1t leaves
enough dry space to preserve the strength
Of the paper and prevent its tearing as IT'S
drawn through the machine. As some
paper requires more moisture than
other qualities, the wetting cylinder is
driven with n belt and pulleys so that
the supply of water may be regulated at
will. When the machine is started the
empty core which rests on the driving
cylinder begins to revolye with it, draws
the paper off from the dry roll, and winds
it upon itself, and as the wet roll grows

The first web perlecting press capable
of doing the work OF a large morning
newspaper was built 10y William Bullock,
of Pittsburgh, for the Cincinnati Times
in 1861, and soon after a similar press
was tried by the New York Iribme.
Neither of these, however, accomplished
all that was expected of it, and MIR. Bul.
lock worked at his invention several
years longer before he finally surmount-
ed all obstacles and produced the I'M
proved press capable of printing 5000
to 10,000 perfect newspapers per hour,

known rs the Walter press, which prints
the London and New York ItWcS, IS

tion OF several improvements IN the
matter of detail, which give 1t greater

One OF these papers admits with uncon-
cealed chagrin that "thcre are multi
tudes of tinid, easy-going people who
are already saying that Cleveland is
good enough President for them;" and
another says lit must be admitted that
there are not few Republicans who
take but little interest in politics, and
who express mild approval of the Demo-
cratic President
This contentedness of the public
mind under Democratic regime will
be an important element in the con.
test of next year. It is feeling of sat.
isfaction almost universal, and it is
deepened by the contemplation of the
stability, method and public order that
mark the Democratic Administration
SO different from the disorder, derange.
ment and ruin which the Republican
organs falsely predicted. 1t lis an inert
force hard to overcome. When even
large bodies of Republicans declare
that 'Mr. Cleveland is good enough
President for them,'' it shows that
the authority OF Republicanism is
broken, and the Democracy is in power
as long as it behaves itself well. The
people desired change, three years
ago, but they are averse to change
now.-St. Louis Republican,.
